Steel tubes for mechanical engineering, machine components and general use


Steel tubes have an irreplaceable role for their unique characteristics, i.e. wide range of sizes, variety of available steel grades and welding ability. Tubes for mechanical engineering and parts of machines are used for manufacturing in various types of machine parts and at the same time they can be used in many other industrial areas.

Possible applications of steel tubes:

  • pressure vessels
  • parts and the axis of the machine units
  • construction elements of machines
  • basis and supports of machines
  • design features for storages and containers
  • fixtures for tools
  • parts of agricultural machinery
  • conveyor belts
  • elements of ships

Tube lengths for mechanical engineering

Usually the tubes are supplied in the production length (5 to 6 meters). A precise length may be supplied upon request.

Tube testing

According to EN 10294 – 1 standards the tubes are subjected to specific testing which consists of:

a, cast analysis,
b, tensile test and notched impact strength test (where possible),
c, dimensional inspection
,
d, visual inspection.

Additionally according to the EN 10297 – 1 we can provide:

a, nonspecified testing for the steels grade 2.1.1 if by choice there is no agreement about a specific test
b, specific testing for other grades of stee
l.

The mandatory tests for nonspecified testing are in concurrence with the EN 10294-1, the optional tests are shown in the standards.

Tube surface protection

While ordering, it is necessary to agree upon the method and means of temporarily protecting the surface of the tubes during transportation and storage.

The tubes may be supplied without temporarily preservation of the surface or with an agreed upon preservative.

Tube ends

The tubes with deburred ends or ends customized for welding.
The tubes with deburred ends or ends customized for welding.
The ends are vertical to the longitudinal axis and are without burrs.
The ends are vertical to the longitudinal axis and are without burrs.

Deburring applies to:

  • Tube OD: 26,7 – 114,3 mm
  • Tube WT: 3,2 – 12,5 mm
  • Tube lengths: 4 – 13 m
  • Deburring angle, α (alpha): 30°+5°, 37,5°±2,5°
  • Dimension, c: 1,6 ± 0,8 mm

Packaging of mechanical tubes

(a) tubes bound with a steel band,
(b) tubes wrapped in plastic sheets, burlap,
(c) tubes in wooden crates.

Tubes are supplied in packages with a circular or hexagonal outline with weight of 300 to 3 500 kilograms.

Marking of tubes and tube bundles


(a) without marking,
(b) marked with colored stripes on the tubes (tube bundles),
(c) marked with spray either by a white or black color using InkJet,
(d) marked by stamping the data (this applies to OD > 22 mm and WT >2.3 mm).

1.5 x 1000 is the required straightness for the tubes that have diameter up to 33.7 mm and which are intended for machine components.

For tubes that are going to be mechanically machined the required straightness is 1: 1000, i.e. 0.001 x L.

Hot rolled tubes made out of carbon steel do not go through further heat treatment and their condition is the same as the condition of normally annealed tubes.


After forming, the cold drawn tubes are heat treated in such a way that they would meet the requirements of the appropriate standards as far as the condition of delivery and the mechanical values are concerned.

The inner and outer surface of the tubes corresponds to the manufacturing means.
